I didn’t know that the Sound of Music is based on the real life story of the von Trapp family. Yes, there really is a Maria von Trapp (who doesn’t look like Julie Andrews).
Read the history of the von Trapp family and their travels from Austria to America.
Have you seen the mad skills of 2009 Narcissus Queen Lisa Wong? In February, she showed the fans of the Ellen DeGeneres Show what creativity and skills she has.
Another serious blast from the kicks past! The iconic And1 Tai Chi is making its return though I don’t like this planned colorway.
I loved my royal blue/sky blue combo with the multicolored laces. And if you forgot, these are the kicks that Half Man, Half Amazing Vince Carter wore when he went nutso at the 2000 NBA All Star Slam Dunk Contest. Oh yeah, the Bulldogs of Fresno State had these as their team shoe when Chris Herren was much loved and hated in the WAC.
Look at what Nike is releasing tomorrow, just in time for Father’s Day, the Air Trainer Legacy Pack! This two shoe collection features the Air Trainer and revolutionized Trainer 1. The box itself is killer.
Unfortunately, you need to order the Air Trainer Legacy Pack online at the nikestore.com.
I still remember when UH ballers AC Carter and Mike Robinson rocked these Air Max Total Uptempos. The Black/Volt colorways are being retroed.
Finally got around to watching the pilot episode of Glee, and it was entertaining! Kinda quirky with lots of high school stereotypes, but the music was great. Major props for covering Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’.
You can get the Glee cast version of Don’t Stop Believin’ on 
.
And speaking of Journey, I had to listen to vintage Journey songs after watching Glee. Then I started reading about Journey’s new lead singer from the Philippines, Arnel Pineda. What a story! This vocal replica of Steve Perry was discovered on YouTube and sounds awesome. Listen and watch this Journey concert at Chile, especially Only the Young at around the 6:00 mark. Without the video, I would have thought Steve Perry all the way. Wow.
And don’t forget to follow Glee on Twitter.
Read this short but interesting article about what Twitter is really about.
How Twitter compares with Facebook?
Facebook is for people you know, and Twitter is for people you don’t know and with whom you may share common interests.
How to user Twitter?
find someone you trust, who spends their time discovering and reporting on things you want to learn about and follow their every move. They effectively become a human RSS feed for tons of information you would never find out about otherwise.
Where Twitter fits in with information overload.
Twitter is another step in the process as we try to figure out how to deal with the complexity of so much input of information in our daily lives.
At Borders, I saw this jigsaw puzzle of Edward Cullen. The lineup of Twilight stuff just never ends.
Taking a look at my recent musical additions over the past few months:
Hmmm, quite a few of these were daily specials on Amazon.
Billshrink has this visual comparison of features of the iPhone 3G S, the Palm Pre, and the Android G1.
Wow! Owning an iPhone over 2 years costs $3800! And well worth it!
Macworld has a good rundown of the new iPhone 3G S phone along with AT&T upgrade pricing information. A funny line from the article:
In a sentence, what does the S get me?
Speed, swagger, sleek, sexy, sense-of-direction, and sinematography. It’s possible that we made that last word up.
These new round of kicks is simply yummy!
